[Live-demo] Proposing a Project Management Committee for OSGeo-Live

[Cameron Shorter]

As suggested in this week's IRC meeting,
We would like to kickstart the OSGeo-Live Project Steering Committee 
with the core team from prior releases listed in our credits page [1]
Angelos Tzotsos, Cameron Shorter, Hamish Bowman, Alex Mandel and Brian 
Hamlin

Angelos, Hamish, Alex, Brian,
Would you do us the honour of accepting a position on the first official 
OSGeo-Live PSC?

Once the first PSC has been established, we would like to invite in 
people who would like to help coordinate OSGeo-Live, who also have a 
track record contributing to the project. Our aim is to be inclusive in 
selection of the PSC. As per our PSC page [2], these are the 
expectations of PSC members:

* Regularly contribute to OSGeo-Live or related activities
* Help with whatever dirty work is required to keep the project moving 
forward
* Monitor OSGeo-Live conversations, either in weekly IRC meetings, or on 
the email list, and contribute constructively where appropriate
* Vote promptly (within days) to motions being raised
